Hundreds of union members and supporters
rallied in New York this week on behalf of Spectrum technicians, who
have been on strike for one year (and counting) in response to actions
from parent company Charter Communications, which has also drawn scrutiny from consumers this month.
On Wednesday, members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers (IBEW) Local 3 gathered outside Spectrum's headquarters to
protest the company's reported unwillingness to come to the table with
the union's technician division.
According to the group, which represents 1800 NYC-area technicians
and their families, Charter has attempted to force workers to renounce
their union benefits in favor of company health and retirement plans,
which members say would weaken their union and leave workers
significantly worse off.
